It seems that everybody does this differently. For instance I know people tend to keep them in different compartments. Or the raw ones in the egg holders built into the fridge door and the boiled ones in a bowl or the original egg carton. Or vice versa I don't know which.
Cousin Pearl Baker-Snell-Forbes-Jackson-Rowe-Tackett (she's been married 5 times) peels them all, which to me seems to defeat the entire purpose of boiled eggs which is to make them last forever in your fridge without spoiling.
When I was growing up my best friend Eliza's mother put a big black X on the boiled ones. I still think a black X is repetitious and depressing.
So I always make my boiled eggs blue. Always.
And since I keep all my eggs in one basket, I think that makes perfect sense.

Every time I hardboil eggs, I think of you and how beautiful the eggs look when they're colored.
But I guess I'm lazy....I do the repetitious and depressing X...

It's sad, really. Because as much time as it takes to find a marker and mark all those X's, your eggs could be cooling in the pan of water you boiled them in, with just a dash of food color and vinegar...come back later and Viola! colored eggs!
